So what you’re telling me is that I had a hand in your infection… mwahahahaha. No but for real. I fucking love Star Trek and by now you clearly know why. You’ve seen everything the shows have to offer. And no matter whether they’re “good” or “bad”, they all have some hope to give or moral to tell or journey to go on. They’re awesome. I’m glad that someone else has shared in the joy of that too. Just… give Discovery a chance despite what you’ve heard… New shows, fans get salty… Make up your own mind on if you like it. But I will say that like every Trek show, first season is a bit rocky…

I do plan on watching Discovery, despite what I’ve heard, because I still love the premise of it all, at the end of the day. I already know the first season will be rough… but idk, if I can get through season one of DS9 (and let’s be honest, season 2 as well), I think I’ll get into it. Cause by season 3 of DS9, it started to slap and felt like good 'ol space again, and I started to love it for it’s own flavor. So I’m optimistic and persistent enough lol
But yeah, it’s the best thing Lemmy has given to me because I’m more than officially hooked. Hell, my text ringtone is the TOS intercom tone and my wife has a Janeway popsocket on her phone (There’s a right way, a wrong way, and the Janeway). We have TOS on blueray and I’m planning on hitting up the library for the rest… y’all got us pretty good, to say the least lmao But we appreciate it

Yeah… basically every Trek show has a really rough start with the exception of Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. Groundbreaking.
Hell yeah on the ringtones! Every notification tone on my phone comes from Trek in some fashion. The Voyager theme song is my ringtone <3 Discovery and Voyager constantly flip back and forth between who is my favorite.
Also Janeway did nothing wrong with Tuvix, I will die defending my queen
I’m so happy that you guys have found a new joy for you two to share together that has brought so many others the same joy. I hope your journey is long and fruitful, my friend <3

I can’t wait to watch Strange New Worlds, but I’m saving it for now. And I love that the Voyager and Discovery themes are your go-to… because they’re the best ones! Haven’t even seen Discovery, but watched the intro and the theme song is excellent. And you’re correct, Janeway was morally right to seperate Tuvix. “Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew”. Tuvix wasn’t a crew member, and her priority was to the both of them, not him alone… I’ll die on that hill too lol. But thank you, I’m excited that your excited for us! We’ve just been nerding out on it with no shame
Last bit that’s an unpopular opinion: I hate Bones. I understand his merit as a balancing character and he occasionally does or says something that really makes you say, “hell yeah, good on ya McCoy!”… but fuck Bones. I’m sorry, I’m not sorry; I can’t help it. He’s just a dick as his whole personality, to the point that it seems like he was mean as an actual person, not just a character. “Fuck Bones” is a running joke between us at this point. I just need him to get off the bridge and go do his job for the love of god, you don’t have to insert your hardline opinions about everything; nobody asked you. “You’re a doctor damnit, not a command officer!”— End rant. But I’ve noticed I’m in the minority on that one lol
